Title: Kids bow 37" made from bamboo flooring pics
Post by: Archer1019 on July 01, 2007, 09:06:00 AM
Here is a bow I made from two 1/8" slats of bamboo flooring.  The handle is hickory and the tips were recurved with a heat gun.  The bow is 37" long, 1" at the fade outs and tapers to 1/2" nocks.  The bow draws about 10-13# @ 14".

BenBow, the bow is not backed.  Just the bamboo flooring.  Thanks for the kind words guys.
